Step Three: Order Medication Online (via Dynamix International)

The medicationDynamix will ship either RICOVIR-EM by Mylan or TENVIR-EM by Cipla, depending on your preference. Both versions of emtricitabine/tenofovir 200/300mg are US-FDA approved and have been validated using therapeutic drug monitoring by 56 Dean Street clinic in London (see FAQ for more info). Mylan’s product was approved by Health Canada on 31-July-2017. Cipla’s product has not been reviewed by Health Canada.

Note: the purchase platform of the website cannot be completed on a smartphone or tablet. Use a desktop computer. If using an Apple computer, do not use Safari or Netscape — use Google Chrome instead.

Currency and cost
The price is listed as $99 USD for TENVIR-EM (and a few dollars more for RICOVIR-EM), which at the time of this authorship, was $123.98 CAD. Click here for the current exchange rate via Google. There is also a “handling fee” of less than $7 CAD. These are the total costs which includes 90 tablets and express shipping to the USA via EMS. The website or your credit card company’s conversion rate may be slightly inflated compared to the base rate quoted by Google.

Create PDFs of your prescription and passport ID
You will need a digital copy of your prescription and the details page of your passport (for customs clearance purposes). A scanner is ideal, but a very carefully taken photograph using a smartphone may work — make sure that the lighting is good and that all information is clearly visible.

Most phones and scanners create images in .jpg format, but the shipper requires them to be in .pdf format. Use the free website tool JPG 2 PDF to quickly convert your files by dragging them in to the space that says “Drop your files here”, wait a few seconds for them to convert, then click Download below each file to save the pdf files to your computer.

How to order
On the linked-page above for either TENVIR-EM or RICOVIR-EM, use the drop-down box to select “3 Months Supply” of medication.

Payment

Update 2017-Jul-17: Dynamix is no longer able to accept PayPal

Please note: a user has reported that some credit cards treat transactions using Exchange4Free as cash advances rather than purchases, which means that they may begin accruing interest right away (and do so until your full balance is paid off). If possible, pay off your credit card ASAP to avoid interest.

You will then be taken to the Exchange4Free payment gateway so that the US Dollar amount can be converted to Canadian Dollars and you can complete your payment.

Here you will need to complete your information before being given the Canadian Dollar amount to pay :

Country paying from – select Canada

Payer type – select individual

First Name – enter your first name

Last Name – enter your last name

Passport/ID number – enter your passport number

Payment Method – select card transaction

Transfer Reason – select pay invoice

Invoice Amount – 99 for TENVIR-EM or 103 for RICOVIR-EM

Payment Reference Type – select Invoice Number

Payment Reference – insert your order number from the top of the page

Email Address – insert your email address

Country – Insert Canada

Mobile number – enter your mobile number

City – enter the city where you live

Street Address – enter the name of your street and the number of your house/apartment/unit (if you live in an apartment or a unit please enter the number as 2-19 and not as 2/19)

Now click the GET QUOTE button ONCE only and the cost of your order in Canadian Dollars will be shown.

If you are happy to proceed tick the 3 boxes under CONFIRM AND PAY

Then click the PAY NOW button

You will then be given a reference number and the Canadian dollar amount will appear and the credit card option will be selected. Click on the SUBMIT button.

Now you will be able to enter your credit/debit card information and billing address in the normal way when using your card online before clicking PAY. Occaisonally you might be asked to join an “online verfication” system. Just continue on. Your payment is not complete until you reach the page with the large green heading “Payment Successful”.

After completing your transaction you will receive an email as well as a text confirmation that your payment has been processed.

You have now completed the order process! It typically takes 8-14 days for the medication to arrive in Point Roberts.

**Troubleshooting payment using the Exchange4Free system:
-Most problems arise from using an incompatible browser on an Apple computer. Safari and Netscape are NOT compatible — use Google Chrome instead. The purchase platform cannot be run on an iPad, tablet, or phone. Use a desktop computer.
-If you are still having problems with payment, please contact:

**If you do not receive a confirmation email/text that your payment has been received within 24h, it is likely that your credit card company has automatically blocked the transaction (how often do you buy things from Thailand, right?) Contact Tracey (above) to confirm this is the issue and/or call your credit card company to authorize the transaction. The phone number is usually on the back of your credit card.

Shipping and tracking:

If you created an account with Dynamix, you should receive an email with your tracking number when you order has shipped. If you did not create an account, then you can find your tracking number by going to their Facebook Group Time4PrEP – Dynamix Internationaland using the ‘search this group’ function on the left side of the page to search for your order number.
